Since the iPhone has no fans, all heat is dissipated directly through the case. The main reasons for heating in version 2.0.1 Graphics reset: The update could automatically set the maximum parameters, activate the increased frame rate mode (60/120 FPS) or increase the "unit size". The calculation of the physics of hundreds of warriors on the map is the main cause of processor stress. Patch optimization problems: In version 2.0.1 code, there may be bugs that make the chip work at maximum frequency ### 5/5 — Restitutor Orbis *2026-06-16, version 2.0.1* Give tribute still work V/V ### 1/5 — +-31 *2026-06-06, version 2.0.1* Heats up after the update ### 5/5 — Na ja *2026-04-28* Das Spiel ist in Ordnung ich finde,aber das man seine Einnahmen sehen sollte um besser Truppen und die Bau Politik zu verbessern ### 5/5 — Uhhh *2026-01-10, version 2.0.1* I bought the game excited to go further back in time after playing Napoleon, and I cant click pass the menu.
